Parkland administrators are heavy-handed

January 10, 2008|The Morning Call

Regarding the recent streaker controversy at Parkland High School: I feel that the punishment given to prankster "Fuzzy" was much too severe, yet it does not surprise me. I graduated from Parkland in 2006 and I disagreed with many actions by the administrators during my four years. I felt they targeted students who stepped out of line once or twice, but otherwise had a spotless record. Others, whose actions far surpassed Fuzzy's slipped through the cracks.

Parkland really needs to look at what they are doing here. The administration made an example out of Fuzzy because he embarrassed them -- plain and simple.
